Totally get that! Instead of trying to force iOS apps onto Android through emulation, I’ve personally found it way more practical to look for cross-platform apps or use web-based alternatives. Many apps that are exclusive to iOS often have Android counterparts, or at least their functionality can be accessed via a web version.
For apps I really needed—like iCloud Notes or Apple Music—I just ended up using the browser. It’s definitely not a perfect solution, but it’s much quicker and more efficient than struggling with emulators or hunting for sketchy third-party APK sites.
The web approach is a cleaner and safer option, and I haven’t had to worry about stability issues or performance loss.
